Why pay for a gym membership when you can use your home as a gym and get fit and in shape for free? The top reason why most people don't exercise is usually due to a 'lack of time'. Driving to a gym or studio to work out, then driving back home can take well over an hour. So if you find it difficult to set aside the time you need, use your home as your personal workout facility. Below are our top six workout recommendations:
1. Laminate Floor Sliders
This exercise is great to do at home if you've got any kind of laminate, wooden or polished floor, enabling you to get a great core workout. All you need is a tea towel or a cloth which you can place under your feet, then perform the pike to plank exercise.
2. Worktop Press-Ups
Using your kitchen table or worktop, you can practice a standard push up. It's also a good way to practice push-ups if you find it too difficult to get down to the floor. Once this gets easy you can start adjusting your height, by practicing on a chair, then moving to the stairs, working your way down each step until you are in the full press-up position.
3. Stair Step-Ups
Running or fast walking up and down the stairs burns many calories. But you can also use the stairs for an exercise called step-ups which will work on your glutes as well as upper leg strength. Simply step up to the first step with your right foot, followed by your left foot, then reverse the process by stepping down with your right foot, then your left. Repeat the exercise 15 to 20 times per leg.
4. Wall Squats
By this point, you should have worked up quite a sweat. So stand with your back flat against a wall or a door. Holding this squat position for as long as you can manage. This exercise will help strengthen your legs.
5. Chair Dips
This is an exercise you can practice even while waiting for tea water to boil. Simply place your hands on the edge of the seat and lower your hips towards the ground, then back up. This exercise is especially great for strengthening the triceps. Aim for 12 to 15 repetitions.
6. Front and Side Shoulder Raises
Grab a bottle of water in each hand. Start by holding the bottles down to your sides, keep the palms facing in towards your body. Then raise them straight out in front of you, thumbs up towards the ceiling and release your arms back down to your sides.
